As I've mentioned, my kids are bored. In an attempt to switch things up a bit, I let them ride their bikes on our morning walk instead of riding in the stroller. I thought this was a brilliant idea.
It lasted a half mile.
Then they saw a sidewalk opening to the ocean and decided they were done. Instead of being put out that our mileage would be low, I went with the flow of things. It turned out to be such a nice morning. As they played I realized I need to chill out a little sometimes. I don't have to be saying, "no," all the time. If they want to stop at the beach, awesome--let's do it, if they want another story at bedtime, just read it. It's only a few more minutes of my time. It's unplanned beauty like this that make me grateful I carry my camera around with me. It's clunky and heavy and most of the time unnecessary but I am in love with these pictures and what I remember when I see them.
